You will also need to find special words called spangrams. By doing so, you can see what the words have in common. Spanggram links her two opposite sides of the board. Theme words cannot be proper nouns, but spangrams can be. If a spangram is found, it will remain highlighted in yellow.

today’s strand answer
This was made easy because today’s official “theme” was very simple. Even more difficult was the difficulty in spelling French words. I swear, any English words that are “loan words” from French are even more difficult for me to spell.
I didn’t really understand it at first, but I started looking for the French word and found it beret Pretty quickly. I started brainstorming other French words that are commonly used in English and found the following just below the first word: driver, Even after finding and typing it once, I still don’t know how to spell it. station Next came, this time blocking off the entire left side of the grid.
It reminded me of the time I came across the word “fire” before, and it got me thinking. aperitif Lo and behold, it was indeed there. At this point, I knew this had to be the end of the spangram because the letters “SDROW” were continuously blocked between other words. In other words, words. The beginning? I quickly found LOAN and slapped those two together to get it. Foreign words. It’s actually one word, not two. I did not know that.I found chic The next thing that made me contact The discovery is fairly simple.
no Cliche I was sure it would be there. C‘Est la vie. Still, it’s a super fun strand to puzzle today! Bon Voyage, Stranditos!
